Turkish official vows to enforce controversial law to cull stray dogs after death of a 2-year-old

Turkey's Interior Minister Ali Yerlikaya promised to fully enforce a law for removing stray dogs after the death of a 2-year-old girl in Konya.
The legislation, criticized by animal welfare groups as the 'massacre law', requires municipalities to collect and shelter stray dogs, with potential euthanasia for sick or dangerous animals.
Demonstrations across Turkey have featured thousands calling for changes to the law, fearing it may lead to euthanasia of animals.
Critics highlight previous regulations not being enforced as a reason for the current stray dog population growth.
